Description

Modified particles for reflection gel splats. Must be added into the particles manifest like so: Copy, then put two slashes in front of, the lines for the old paintsplat particle files: //"precache" "paint_bomb_fx.pcf" //"precache" "paint_splats_fx.pcf" Paste, and add _new to the ends of, and ! to the fronts of, the new filenames. You need to have a fixed reflection gel blob texture for this to work!

These ones are a bit outdated, I only uploaded them to share with some other people who are working on the gel with me. I have the gel fully working now, with particles and materials, and will upload it after my contest map is done.

Okay yhank you that's because i'm working on a reflection gel map too called "reflection gel prelude - pump station delta". That's a bit trick to map ^^

Reflection gel was an internal test at valve, when they were told the gel was still in game the valve employees were shocked really.

As for the test element itself: it's basically a reflection cube with some minor changes (like you can bounce a laser between a couple of walls) one of the issues is that the laser will still stop losing its power after a certain amount of bounces.

The other main issue is that the reflection behind a corner, which is what I've seen most with reflection gel, is really really annoying, because you can't see what's happening. All in all I think it's good they didn't include it.

I have some instances and stuff for gel flows, pipes, and particle effects that I'll include in the final release if you want them.
